Neuro

                 As you may already know, my boss gave me a 5 week old Swainson's Lorikeet last July. I've raised him and he has a very active life where we go on hikes and we go to town and he meets all sorts of people of all ages. He will get on anybody and usually tries to taste you. Lories have brushes on the ends of their toungues specially designed for getting pollen as the main diet of a lorikeet is pollen, nectar and fruit. They have very quick digestive systems and therefore tend to be rather good foragers. I make toys and offer exploration as forms of enrichment for him all of the time.

Neuro is a source of constant entertainment and occasional irritant. He's curious, intelligent and high energy, always getting into something or finding new toys!

This is some video of Neuro in the rain:

Pretty cute guy and so full of personality!

Neuro is a bird I've wanted for some time and they are pretty hard to come by in the states. He's really special and there is alot to say for hand raising a bird. There is a bond and a solid foundation that never gets broken. I wanted to introduce you to him and I will getting a new lory to keep him company and to add to my delight in this species next week! Stay tuned!
